I have a nikon d60... is the tamron 70-300 zoom lens compatible ?

This is the tripods and monopods forum, perhaps you would have more luck posting in the camera lenses forum.
Hope this helps

You can order the Tamron 2x teleconverter here. Be aware that not all lenses are compatible with teleconverters, and you can actually damage some lenses by trying to use them with a teleconverter.

Yes, the lens is compatible with the D60, with one proviso. The D60 lacks an autofocus motor, relying on the lens to have one. This lens does not, so the autofocus feature will not work. Other than that, everything else will work.

Maybe cleaning the gold coloured contacts on the back of the lens and the ones in the camera may help. Worth a try!

Is it a Nikon mount indeed. What a question!?! Couldn't fit any other mount on the camera!!! Just a guess here, the lens is probably not aa AF-I, an AF-S or a DX lens. The D60 has limited lens usage. The lens types mentioned are the only ones that fully work on the D60. It will work with G types as long as they are also AF-I or AF-S. AF and AF-D lenses will not auto focus. Hope this helps. Will

Nikor, Tamron, Sigma

All Sigma:
50-500mm f/4-6.3 DG
50-150mm f/2.8 EX DC HSM
70-200mm f/2.8 DG MACRO
80-400mm f/4.5-5.6
100-300mm f/4 DG
120-300mm f/2.8 DG

Yes the new nikon D60 needs lens with a built in a/f motor. Your lens will go on and work but you will
have to manual foucs

Bad lens. But go to camera shop with lens just to confirm.

Autofocus function on the D40 only supports lenses with the
AF-S feature, which have an autofocus motor built into the lens,
instead of using an autofocus motor drive built into the camera.

The Tamron lens you have, does not have a built in motor and
the autofocus function relies on the motor drive in the camera.

It will not work with the D40 or D60, but it will work with other
Nikon digital SLRs, such as the D80. Need to get an AF-S
type lens or upgrade to different Nikon digital SLR. Unless
you do this, you will have to manually focus the Tamron lens.

All of the Nikon DX (for digital) series lenses are also AF-S
type, so they will work with the D40, which is designed as
an entry level digital SLR, therefore it is intended primarily
for use with DX lenses, which are typically sold in a kit with
the D40. Most common one is Nikkor 18-55mm DX AF-S.

Other Nikon AF-S lenses made for film cameras (FX type)
will also work with the D40, but these tend to be expensive
professional models. DX series lenses tend to be more
affordable. You might consider the 18-200mm DX AF-S
as an alternative to the Tamron, but these are not cheap.
